Commissioner of Agriculture and Industries to Proclaim Beef Day and Honor Breast Cancer Survivors

October 30th will
serve as a day to "Beef Up Breast Cancer Awareness" as Commissioner of
Agriculture and Industries, John McMillan, proclaims "Beef Day" at an outdoor
luncheon being held from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM at the State Farmer's Market in
Montgomery. The Alabama Department of Agriculture and Industries, Alabama
Cattlemen's Association and the Joy to Life Foundation have teamed up as
October serves as both Beef Month in Alabama and Breast Cancer Awareness Month
nationwide.

At
this event, local breast cancer survivors have been invited to attend as
honoree guests and enjoy a delicious steak sandwich prepared by members of the
Alabama Cattlemen's Association. All guests of this event are encouraged
to wear pink as this color symbolizes breast cancer awareness.

We
invite you to attend this event as Commissioner McMillan will hold a short
press conference at 12:00 noon to honor breast cancer survivors and discuss the
economic impact of Alabama's $2.5 billion cattle industry. As a member of
the media, you will enjoy a complimentary steak sandwich lunch provided
by the hardworking cattlemen in Alabama.
